I see you like getting information from Wikipedia.
I would caution you on that because not all information on there is the truth, and is also taken from other sources that give their opinion of the matter. Also not making it not truth, just matter of opinion.
The whole book is about a person looking back on one's life, and the introduction says the son of David. So to conclude that it would not be Solomon, or at least somebody writing on behalf of Solomon as Paul had another write his epistle to the Romans. And has also been a long debated issue that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were not written by those four.
Anyway in the last chapter in Ecclesiastes is where he says it was all in vain and finishes with fear God and keep His commandments.
Okay, so you are not a Mormon. Are you of another religion that believes in polygamy? Do you know that polygamy is legal in certain other countries? If God approved of it back then, that means you think might be okay today. Is that true?

You don't have to get it from Wikipedia .. You don't like that source ... Find another, they will relate the same. Again, I will ask where does it state I solomon confess and repent before YAHWEH, please forgive me for worshiping before false gods ? Scripture please... Where is solomons name written in Ecclesiastes ? Where ? ... It's a anonymous writer... The name solomon is never mentioned!

14Now the weight of gold which came in to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold, 15besides that from the traders and the wares of the merchants and all the kings of the Arabs and the governors of the country.…

It does not have to say his exact name, nor does it have to say the words repent or confess in them.
Look at the Psalms written by David, and you will see that he does not use his own name or the words repent or confess in most of them either. Just admitting what they did was wrong is confession and a repentance, and they finished it with fear God and keep His commandments. Now if this was written by Solomon or a scribe who wrote for him, since it does say son of David. Then we can see he came back to God at the end, and did not completely fall away.

24 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
Who was the true source of Solomon wealth to build his house ?
God Almighty
Ecclesiastes 1:1 says he is the son of David, KING in Jerusalem. He is also called the king over Israel (Ecclesiastes 1:12). Ecclesiastes 1:16 says he grown in wisdom more than anyone else before him. The life of living it up and how it is vanity is the central theme of the book which fits Solomon's life.
Wrong, David did repent..
15And Nathan departed unto his house. And YAHWEH struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. 16David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. 17And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
19But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of YAHWEH, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
